Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 94 – The original owner had it much worse than she did!

Gu Shishi took her time touching up her makeup before she walked out of the restroom.

She was in no rush to clear her name in front of Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin had been very active in her channel. The few times that they had chatted on WeChat, she had sent her all sorts of emojis to show how much she looked up to her...

It was obvious that she was a nice girl who was well protected by her family.

She was naïve and not manipulative.

She just needed time to see who was in the right and who wasn’t.

Quickly, Gu Shishi arrived at the banquet hall located on the second floor.

The banquet was served in buffet style today.

Everybody was standing around the banquet hall and chatting with those around them.

This was, no doubt, heaven for those who were good at socializing.

As long as they wanted to, they could walk in between all of the upper classes madams and misses and chat with any or all of them.

One could earn quite a bit of brownie points over the course of just one meal.

Gu Shishi looked around and certainly spotted many like that.

There were also plenty of smaller tables placed around the perimeter of the venue. Most of them were taken by older housewives as they rest and socialized at the same time.

She attracted plenty of attention the minute she walked inside of the banquet hall.

Gu Shishi was, doubtless, a pretty girl.

She had on a light-yellow colored dress today that made her look even more like a voluptuous and delicate flower bud. Her skin was white like snow. If one looked close enough, it was almost glowing. She was flawless from head to toe.

Her cheeks were smooth and shiny like a peeled egg and her brows were elegant and beautiful. Her eyes were limpid, and her lips were delicate like an apricot.

Yet, not one person came up to greet her.

Everybody in the banquet hall looked at her. Some of them were stunned by her beauty and others were envious of her. Quickly, they exchanged a few words with those around them, showed a look of either insight or contempt, then they turned away from her.

It didn’t take long before Gu Shishi fully understood the meaning of “not belonging”.

There were at least 40 ~ 50 people at the venue, but she didn’t know any of them.

Nor would any one of them approach her.

Alienation was clearly written on everyone’s face.

She was just about to walk over to the buffet table when she heard a vexed voice from an elegant middle-aged woman.

“Shishi, your little sister Wushuang is ill?”

She turned around and saw a pretty woman wrapped in a lavender cheongsam along with a reddish purple embroidered shawl walking toward her quickly with a worried look on her.

That was Zheng Wen, Mrs. Gu.

The birth mother of this body.

It only took Gu Shishi a second to recall who she was.

But the very next second, Mr. Gu turned pale already. Clutching her purse tightly, she said, “Shishi, your father and I are going to check on Wushuang in the hospital. You stay here and spend some time with Miss Chen.”

She didn’t even wait for Gu Shishi to answer before she walked away in her stilettos, quickly wrapped her arm around a slightly solemn-looking and chubby middle-aged man’s arm, and left with him without ever looking back.

Gu Shishi, as much as she had fully anticipated this, could do nothing but smile wryly.

Just one second of meeting and one line, and they had already left.

They ditched their real daughter to go check on their adoptive one.

Gu Zhengxin, her birth father, never even walked up to her or spoke to her.

The “Dad” and “Mom” that Gu Shishi had been mulling over had already disappeared into thin air. She didn’t have parents in her previous life; she was adopted and raised by her master. She had also taken on his last name, Gu. She thought she had it bad as an orphan, and she never imagined that the original owner had it worse than her.

Her birth parents were right there, but they acted like they didn’t see her at all.

They didn’t even think twice before leaving her even though they knew that she didn’t know another soul there. They didn’t even bother asking if she wanted to leave with them.

The original owner had it much worse than she did!
